Stockton is a f*cking dump, Boise all the way. Stockton is where all the bay area rejects go whose been priced out and the homeless.
Stockton is one of the the many inland dumps of California. Stockton, Fresno, Victorville, Bakersfield, etc. Nobody purposely moves to these cities, they got priced out of LA/SF/SD.
Boise is an up and coming city and a C-D darlling. Stockton is considered one of the arm pit cities of California. While it's population is growing, no one accuses Stockton of prospering, so whether it would "continue" to prosper is kind of premature. It has population growth despite high unemployment.
Boise is a current "it" city and a state capital while Stocton is sort of a back water town in California, not considered a major city. Its population growth is due to working class people moving there because they can't afford to live in the Bay Area. I might be wrong about this, but I think it's also the largest California metro without a public university. It is one of the least educated metros.

They were trying for a Cal State, not sure where they are with it.
Interesting that Stockton, with Amtrak service, a better climate, location at I-5, and a Port that is a legitimate international trade zone could get dismissed so easily while Boise could be touted as a destination.

Speaking of the Bay Area, if I live in Stockton I can drive to SF in about an hour, Sac in 45 minutes, Yosemite in 90 minutes.
Boise isn't that large of a city, one might get a little bored of things.
Where do I go if I get bored in Boise? Five hours to SLC? Eight hours to Portland?
Don’t see the appeal of either what so ever but I’d rather visit and live in Boise. Can’t possibly think of a reason to live in Stockton.
